Skateboarding and Falling.

Most of the time when you fall while skateboarding, you know its coming and you learn to fall "softly". Then there are times when you are just rolling along headed for a ramp at speed or just checking things out and then ... WAP...Slam...next thing you know your lying limp on the ground hoeping that when you decide to move that every thing still works.

i had the park to my self yesterday and I was just fooling around trying some fun stuff. Every time I went up to this one ramp I noticed a very small rubber washer on the ground. I would go around it or at least make sure my wheels didn't hit it. So I did this @ 3 times. As i approached it the 4th time I decidded to ignore it. Take note in the picture of the washer on the left and the skid mark behind it. The skid mark is @ 1 foot.

Skid mark. 

I hit the washer and the world stopped. I however did not stop. Actually I flew for about 3 feet right in the transition of the ramp. its sort of like running and jumping head first into a wall but you have some curve to smash into and you end up in a heap on the ramp. I actually remember letting out an "Arrrgghhh" as I flew at the ramp and then thought "Did I just AARRGGHH? out loud?" I hit my head on the ramp, not hard just a tap. And then lay there for a couple secounds. I looked at the washer and thought about how many times I went by it with out moving it... The music was still playing in my headphones(which only budged slightly, there ugly but they stay on good) so i just chilled for a minute. I noticed the reflection my board was making in the puddle that it had rolled into and went to get the camera.



After I slamed I sat on the ramp for a minute. I was looking over at my board which had rolled into a puddle. I liked the reflections. 


I found another huge chunk of wax and tossed it down with the other one.


I threw another hunk of the evil wax down here.
